Discord已成为游戏玩家、企业等的首选聊天平台。虽然该平台通常是可靠的，但有时音频质量会下降。好消息是您可以先发制人地提高Discord的音频质量。
更改比特率、购买更好的麦克风以及其他类似的调整可以提高您的输入音频质量(input audio quality)，同时也可以更清楚地了解其他人在聊天中所说的话。如果您对Discord(Discord)的声音方式不满意，请尝试其中一些更改。
更改比特率(Change the Bitrate)
服务器的“比特率”是指每秒传输的音频信息的比特数。更高的比特率意味着更高的音频质量，但也意味着更多的带宽使用。如果您的Discord音频很差，请调整比特率(adjust the bitrate)。但是请记住，只有服务器管理员才能执行此操作。
- 将鼠标悬停(Hover)在音频通道上并选择编辑通道。(Edit Channel.)
- 选择比特率滑块并将其移动到更高的数字。默认为 64kbps。
- 选择保存更改。(Save Changes.)
所有Discord频道的范围从 8kbps 到 96kbps。但是，如果一个频道接收到足够的Nitro Boosts，它可以接收 128、256 和 384kbps 的更高比特率选项。
启用噪音抑制(Enable Noise Suppression)
Discord最近推出了一项新功能，可以减少来自麦克风的不需要的背景噪音(reduces unwanted background noise)，例如箱式风扇的嗡嗡声或来自您家外的环境噪音。虽然它不能消除它，但它可以将噪音抑制到其他人听不到的程度。以下是启用此功能的方法。
- 打开设置。(Settings.)
- 选择语音和视频。(Voice and Video.)
- 向下滚动并确保已激活噪声抑制切换。(Noise Suppression)
完成此操作后，Discord将自动开始过滤掉不需要的背景噪音。
启用一键通(Enable Push to Talk)
相信(Believe)我们：如果你的麦克风离你的脸太近，没有人愿意听到你吃薯片或听到你的呼吸声。即按即说功能可确保不会有多余的声音通过您的麦克风，除非您愿意。这应该是您激活以提高音频输入质量的第一件事。
- 打开设置。(Settings.)
- 选择语音和视频。(Voice and Video.)
- 选择一键通。(Push To Talk.)
- 选择快捷方式(Shortcut)并输入您要用于聊天的密钥。
当你想和你的朋友说话时，你所要做的就是按住那个键来传输音频。在您松开钥匙的那一刻，您的传输就结束了。这为您在聊天中提供了更多隐私，因为您不会意外传输任何您不打算传输的内容。
调整高级语音处理设置(Adjust Advanced Voice Processing Settings)
Discord 的语音处理软件可以帮助解决许多输入问题(input problems)，让您听起来像是在使用专业级麦克风，即使您使用的是便宜的设置。以下是修改它们的方法。
- 打开设置。(Settings.)
- 选择语音和视频。(Voice and Video.)
- 向下滚动直到您看到语音处理(Voice Processing)标题并确保启用 了回声消除。(Echo Cancellation)
- 确保自动增益控制(Automatic Gain Control )和高级语音活动(Advanced Voice Activity )也都处于活动状态。
如果您激活Noise Suppression，它会自动禁用降噪。(Noise Reduction.)
启用高服务包质量优先级(Enable Quality of High Service Packet Priority)
当您与朋友一起玩游戏时，音质的重要性仅次于您的游戏玩法。Discord有一个设置，允许您为来自Discord的(Discord)音频数据包(give audio packets)提供比网络上其他数据包更高的优先级。
- 打开设置。(Settings.)
- 选择语音和视频。(Voice and Video.)
- 滚动(Scroll)直到看到Quality of Service标题，然后选择Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority。
选择此设置会告诉您的路由器，来自Discord的传输在您的网络上具有更高的优先级，这将导致清晰的音频输入和输出。
调整衰减设置(Adjust Attenuation Settings)
在紧张的多人游戏中，更重要的是：听到队友传递信息还是游戏音频？对于大多数人来说，答案很容易就是他们的队友。Discord中的衰减设置允许您在有人说话时降低其他应用程序的音频。这是调整它的方法。
- 打开设置。(Settings.)
- 选择语音和视频。(Voice and Video.)
- 滚动到衰减(Attenuation)并调整滑块。
- 确保当其他人说话时(When others speak)打开。(On.)
当其他人讲话时，滑块会降低其他应用程序的音量。这可以消除背景噪音，以便您可以更好地听到其他玩家的声音。确保打开其他人讲话(When others speak)时将保证该选项有效，但无需在您讲话时使您的应用程序静音。
投资更好的麦克风(Invest in a Better Microphone)
要提高音频质量，您可以做的最好的事情就是投资购买更好的麦克风。许多人依靠计算机的内置麦克风(computer’s built-in microphone)或低质量蓝牙(Bluetooth)耳塞进行Discord聊天。
花时间研究价格范围内最好的麦克风。(best microphones in your price range.)一个合适的麦克风，尤其是配备了爆音过滤器的麦克风，将大大提高您的音频质量。通过消除背景噪音等，对您的输入设置进行一些调整将使您听起来更像一个广播新闻播音员，而不是与朋友一起玩游戏的人。
不要满足于糟糕的音频(Don’t Settle for Bad Audio)
您可能不是发烧友，但高质量的声音很重要。尝试以下七个技巧中的任何一个来提高您的Discord音频质量。您的耳朵和您的朋友会感谢您通过调整一些设置而获得的显着改进。
谁知道？如果您能更好地听到队友对您说的话，您甚至可能会看到您的游戏玩法有所改进。
7 Ways to Improve Discord Audio Quality
Discord has become the go-to chаt platform for gamers, businesses, and much more. While the platform is usually reliable, there are times the audio quality drops. The good news is that you can make a pre-emptive strike to improve Discord audio quality.
Changing the bitrate, purchasing a better microphone, and other similar tweaks can improve your input audio quality while also making it clearer what others are saying in chat. If you aren’t happy with the way Discord sounds, try some of these changes.
Change the Bitrate
The “bitrate” of a server refers to the number of bits of audio information transferred per second. A higher bitrate means higher audio quality, but it also means more bandwidth usage. If your Discord audio is poor, adjust the bitrate. Remember that only server administrators can do this, however.
- Hover over an audio channel and select Edit Channel.
- Select the bitrate slider and move it to a higher number. It defaults to 64kbps.
- Select Save Changes.
All Discord channels can range from 8kbps to 96kbps. However, if a channel receives enough Nitro Boosts, it can receive higher bitrate options of 128, 256, and 384kbps.
Enable Noise Suppression
Discord recently introduced a new feature that reduces unwanted background noise from your microphone, like the hum of a box fan or ambient noise from outside your home. While it doesn’t eliminate it, it can dampen the noise enough that no one else can hear. Here’s how to enable this feature.
- Open Settings.
- Select Voice and Video.
- Scroll down and ensure the Noise Suppression toggle is activated.
After you do this, Discord will automatically begin filtering out unwanted background noise.
Enable Push to Talk
Believe us: no one wants to hear you eating chips or listen to your breath if your mic is too close to your face. The push-to-talk function guarantees no unwanted sound passes through your mic unless you want it to. This should be one of the first things you activate to improve your audio input quality.
- Open Settings.
- Select Voice and Video.
- Select Push To Talk.
- Select Shortcut and enter the key you want to use to chat.
When you want to speak to your friends, all you have to do is press and hold that key to transmit audio. The moment you let go of the key, your transmission ends. This gives you more privacy in a chat, as you won’t accidentally transmit anything you don’t intend to.
Adjust Advanced Voice Processing Settings
Discord’s voice processing software can help clear up many of the input problems and make you sound like you’re using a professional-grade microphone, even if you’re using an inexpensive setup. Here’s how to modify them.
- Open Settings.
- Select Voice and Video.
- Scroll down until you see the Voice Processing header and ensure Echo Cancellation is enabled.
- Ensure that Automatic Gain Control and Advanced Voice Activity are also both active.
If you activate Noise Suppression, it automatically disables Noise Reduction.
Enable Quality of High Service Packet Priority
When you’re gaming with friends, the importance of audio quality is second only to your gameplay. Discord has a setting that allows you to give audio packets from Discord higher priority than other packets on your network.
- Open Settings.
- Select Voice and Video.
- Scroll until you see the Quality of Service header and select the Enable Quality of Service High Packet Priority.
Selecting this setting tells your router that transmissions from Discord take a higher priority on your network, which will result in clear audio input and output.
Adjust Attenuation Settings
In a tense multiplayer game, what’s more important: hearing your teammates relay information or the game audio? For most people, the answer is easily their teammates. The attenuation setting within Discord allows you to reduce the audio of other applications when someone speaks. Here’s how to adjust it.
- Open Settings.
- Select Voice and Video.
- Scroll to Attenuation and adjust the slider.
- Ensure When others speak is toggled On.
The slider reduces the volume of other applications when someone else is speaking. This can cut out background noise so that you can better hear other players. Ensuring When others speak is toggled on will guarantee the option works, but there is no need to silence your applications when you talk.
Invest in a Better Microphone
The single best thing you can do to improve the quality of your audio is to invest in a better microphone. Many people rely on their computer’s built-in microphone or low-quality Bluetooth earbuds for Discord chats.
Take the time to research the best microphones in your price range. A proper microphone, especially one equipped with a pop filter, will improve your audio quality by leaps and bounds. A few tweaks to your input settings will make you sound more like a radio newscaster instead of someone gaming with friends by eliminating background noise and more.
Don’t Settle for Bad Audio
You might not be an audiophile, but high-quality sound matters. Try any of these seven tips to improve your Discord audio quality. Your ears — and your friends — will thank you for the dramatic improvements you’ll get just by tweaking a few settings.
Who knows? You might even see improvements in your gameplay if you can better hear what your teammates are saying to you.
